Release  pressure  on  the  clips  and  the  metal  ring  at  the  bag’s 
opening should lock in the grooves of the sawdust port. To remove 
the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse the above procedure. 
The dust bag should be checked often and if more than half full, 
remove  the  bag  by  simply  reversing  the  installation  procedure. 
Dispose of  the  accumulated  saw  dust  in the dust bag and  then 
reinstall the dust bag before resuming operation of the miter saw.
TABLE EXTENSIONS (FIG 4)
Your saw comes with two table extensions (1). They can be installed 
in either the left or the right side of the saw base. 
To Install the Table Extensions
1.  Loosen  the  extension  lock  screw  (2)  by  using  a  Phillips 
screwdriver.
2.  Insert the ends of the table extension into the holes (3) in the 
side of the base and adjust the extension to the desired length. 
3.  Secure the extension by tightening the extension lock screw 
(2). 
WORK CLAMP ASSEMBLY (FIG 5)
 WARNING:  In some operations, the work 
clamp assembly may interfere with the operation of 
the blade guard assembly. Always make sure there 
is  no  interference  with  the  blade  guard  prior  to 
beginning any cutting operation to reduce the risk 
of serious personal injury. 
This miter saw is equipped with a Hold down Work Clamp (1). The 
work clamp can be positioned in the provided mounting holes in the 
base behind the miter fence to the right and left of the cutting head. 
Insert the clamp column (3) into the mounting hole (2). Secure it by 
tightening the lock screw (6). Use the clamp lock knob (4) to quickly 
secure the clamp in position. Use the clamp tightening screw (5) 
to secure workpiece against the miter table as needed, especially 
small workpiece. 
The  work  clamp  provides  greater  control  by  clamping  the  work 
piece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents the workpiece 
from  creeping  toward  the  saw  blade. This  is  very  helpful  when 
cutting compound miters.
NOTE: Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the 
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead of the 
work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE      
(FIG 6, 7, 8, 9)
  WARNING:  Be  sure  that  the  tool  is 
switched off and unplugged from the power source 
before performing any work on the tool. 
 WARNING: Use only 10 inch diameter saw 
blades and are rated for speeds equal to or greater 
then the nameplate rated RPM of this miter saw. 
 WARNING: Use only blades designed for 
cross-cutting operations.
